Thanks! I poked at it a bit. I think this looks good, though I
have a comment on the dependencies below.
I think this should have a NEWS entry, given that it affects
people building standalone gdbserver today. Do you have
documentation changes queued?

This surprised me, as I don't think gdbserver actually depends on
intl currently? Might still be a good idea to actually enable it,
but I was surprised from an "as pure as possible" perspective.

Likewise curious. Can you clarify where the configure checks
come from?
Locally I removed the intl and iconv dependencies and the
resulting gdbserver (w/ make all-gdbserver) was identical byte
for byte for me.
